a virtual coffee & tuesday treasures..make a good life wednesday!

happy lunchtime gals...
i have had to race around in the sunshine this morning doing little jobs...
for no other reason than it is absolutely sunshiney!!
my poor sick big girl at home {again} sent me on a few little errands for her...
as we literally live on the end of the *high street* - this was a total pleasure...
this is what greeted me this morning along our village Green...

so it's tuesday...virtual coffee...& my tuesday treasures...grab a mug of something & let's catch up...
i'm having a stripy mug of home-made coffee...
{thanks mum & dad...i have the machine down pat now! x}
want one?

so...if we were really catching up for a coffee...
i'd tell you that we've been doing a bit of flotsom & jetsom hunting along this coast line...
tuesday treasure hunting...
& i'd show you this gorgeous weathered piece of timber the hubster & i found & dragged home...
i have an idea that this could become a beautiful kitchen sign of the like i've been coveting around blog land....what d'ya think?
& then....
you may spot a new little sunkissed glow to my skin...
that's skin that hasn't really seen sunshine properly since last november...!
remember i'm an aussie girl...
my insides rely on a good dose of sunshine to make me a happy lady...
even the ladies in the P.O said i looked *so lovely & healthy* this morning...
maybe i walk around looking slightly weather-cranky at times?
anyhow...i won't gloat to much...karma and all!!

if we were really sharing a mug of something together...
i would tell you that my flag making outa old fabrics & lovely lace is looking pretty gorgeous...
see *here* for a little peak...
&
that i found a brilliant looking crown shaped thingy this weekend for our up-and-coming-royal-wedding-garden-party-table centre piece...
the icing on the cake really...
&
i would show you that i have eventually framed the only wedding pickie i bought to england with us!
at last!

if we were really having a warm chat in my garden watching the daffodils & hyacinth bloom...
i would ask how your gardens are going...
flowers?
fruit?
veges?
i'd like to have them all...but the season thing here in the english countryside throws me a little still...
i'm used to conserving water in sydney...
so i still {3 years down the track} forget to water here in england...
i figure that's what all that bleeding rain is for...

if we were really catching up for coffee...
i would send you home with some gorgeous fresh spring bunting...
a little tuesday treasure for you....
i'm making a pile of it at the moment for our girls birthdays...
it just makes me smile...
nothing like sunshine & bunting blowing in the breeze...
sounds like i'm really letting myself believe that winter is gone...
maybe i did have on a weather-cranky face lately!?

i so love our virtual coffee catch-ups...but i have my big girl to go snuggle & wait on...
so let me know what's happening at your end...
any thrifting treasures in your basket?
how are your flowers growing?
enjoy mine as you head down our garden path...bunting in had...& maybe even a hyacinth or two if your lucky...
see you next tuesday...mine as usual...i may even make muffins if i get sick of the sun!
